Crime Booster

Another outstanding citizen of Mississippi: Woman under arrest for $1,270 theft at Wal-Mart

Police say Tamela Rash, 21, of Clarksdale emptied a box for a $39 child booster seat, filled it with merchandise and then paid for only the booster seat before fleeing in a rented SUV.

According to store manager Jason Curry, the pregnant woman stuffed the box with children's clothing and paid cash for the booster seat.

He said a clerk at the door checked her items and as the women lifted the box, the clothes fell out.
